America loves small cars... When gas prices are way up. Remember the VW beetle? I remember during the great recession when gas was up to $4 a gallon, suddenly everyone wanted a small, fuel efficient car.
Funny story, everyone here owns a giant car - an SUV or a pickup - but there's been a noticeable addition of scooter-like vehicles darting between them, sometimes with closed cabins.
It's like shrinkflation in reverse. Bagged pretzels keep getting smaller until a new "jumbo" package comes out that basically serves the same purpose the main line originally did.
